Jul 26 17:10:39 <himam>	hello all... i would like to thank all Fedora-strike-force for their great efforts
Jul 26 17:10:58 <himam>	i jointed the Ambassadors list recently
Jul 26 17:11:17 <himam>	i have about tow events i would like to have your advise on
Jul 26 17:12:01 <himam>	1st.. in Sudan we have about 30+ universities and higher institutions..
Jul 26 17:12:42 <himam>	i had a small tour around capital Khartoum and i met many students that showed interest in knowing about Linux
Jul 26 17:13:17 <himam>	i brought to their attention the fedora distro. and i found that many of them all already aware of it..
Jul 26 17:13:31 <himam>	and they appreciated the idea off joining it
Jul 26 17:13:49 <mxcarron>	hi!
Jul 26 17:13:53 <mxcarron>	MaximeCarron
Jul 26 17:14:10 <sereinity>	salut mxcarron
Jul 26 17:14:12 <himam>	i sat many times with them during the last week, and we came to the idea of establishing a "student event"
Jul 26 17:14:52 <himam>	which is so called for the time "Linux SD 2007"
Jul 26 17:14:58 <himam>	and to be held annually
Jul 26 17:15:49 <himam>	the idea basically is to have an exhibition, free training courses, and public seminars from senior users
Jul 26 17:16:55 <himam>	the benefit would definitely be in shape of gaining more and more interested graduate people in Fedora
Jul 26 17:17:22 <himam>	besides, it strengthening the Linux community, which began to expand dramatically in Sudan
Jul 26 17:17:47 <himam>	this is 1st basic idea...
Jul 26 17:18:27 <himam>	the 2nd is similar but it targets my colleagues in my place of work, the National Center of Research
Jul 26 17:18:59 <himam>	this latter consists of 12 different institutions and research centers..
Jul 26 17:19:17 <himam>	imagine the benefit of getting them to our side..
Jul 26 17:20:16 <himam>	for the time being.. i have a green light to fully transfer my sub-institution, ITR to Fedora. , Institut
Jul 26 17:20:38 <himam>	ITR => Institute for Technological Research
Jul 26 17:20:52 <himam>	sorry for taking long.
Jul 26 17:20:53 <himam>	eof
Jul 26 17:25:41 <techbugs>	ah power outage...
Jul 26 17:26:14 <himam>	:)
Jul 26 17:26:18 <techbugs>	sorry for the interruption .. well himam the idea is good
Jul 26 17:26:37 <techbugs>	you can ask Ambassadors near you to help you out with this
Jul 26 17:27:31 <techbugs>	and many like events are organized at various places... you can receive some help in every part
Jul 26 17:27:53 <himam>	it would be great
Jul 26 17:28:11 <techbugs>	i'll suggest you to contact person near you and on the Ambassadors Mailing list for any help you need
Jul 26 17:28:28 <himam>	will do
Jul 26 17:29:17 <techbugs>	and also you can create a wiki page for the event and list it in the events

Jul 26 17:33:28 ---	Ping reply from heinlein.freenode.net : 0.24 second(s)
Jul 26 17:33:43 <wolfy>	!
Jul 26 17:33:57 <jmbuser>	It appears we shall have an OLPC laptop in the Red Hat booth, which is relevant due to Fedora being the upstream OS and heavy Fedora involvement (plus Red Hat)
Jul 26 17:34:28 *	jmbuser waits for techbugs to return
Jul 26 17:35:17 <techbugs>	jmbuser >
Jul 26 17:35:30 <jmbuser>	I was just saying that the OLPC laptop appears to be confirmed for GITEX
Jul 26 17:36:06 <techbugs>	good news..
Jul 26 17:36:08 <jmbuser>	I still am looking for more volunteers to man the booth and help prepare Live Cds
Jul 26 17:36:36 <techbugs>	have you talked on the list about some help..
Jul 26 17:37:06 <jmbuser>	techbugs: I have, but need to do more publicity
Jul 26 17:38:00 <jmbuser>	This show's a little different in that it's a commercial ICT exhibition, but should have some open source presence due to Red Hat, IBM & Sun
Jul 26 17:38:10 <Sparks>	?
Jul 26 17:38:40 <jmbuser>	I see it as an opportunity to educate the business community to open source, especially Fedora
Jul 26 17:38:56 <jmbuser>	Sparks: Question
Jul 26 17:39:14 <Sparks>	Where is GITEX and how many CDs do you need made up?
Jul 26 17:40:23 <jmbuser>	Sparks: GITEX is being held in Dubai, UAE (Red Hat has a booth) and the show gets 100K+ visitors - I have no idea
Jul 26 17:40:42 <Sparks>	Ok
Jul 26 17:41:37 <jmbuser>	If anyone has experience with this type of event, feel free to give me advice
Jul 26 17:42:10 <jmbuser>	eof
